*~*~* Blackburn v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

And it’s a problem. We concede a lot of late goals. When other sides (particularly the top half teams) have nearly half an outfield side with fresh legs and we’ve made one change it asks an awful lot for young lads who’ve played a lot of games. It’s unfathomable sometimes

Not just that, he is running young lads into the ground and we are getting injuries because of it.
 
Strange game to be fair. We should have been put to the sword 2-0 or 3-0 by half time. Second half we looked like a different team and dominate it and went 2-1 up deservingly. To be honest we had them there and then but for a few fluffed opportunities we go and comfortably win it. Yes Mayenda should have done much better with that chance at the end but haway cut the lad a bit of slack as he put a decent shift in second half. Blackburn are in tremendous form and to come away with a point could be a point gained when it all comes down to it. I understand fans frustration at the end, but they also had that chance to win it as well. I will take that point happily.

This. If Rigg hadn't got injured he wouldnt have used the bench at all. Its becoming a huge issue and costing us points. Needs addressing in January.

I'm sorry but I don't agree it's a recruitment issue.
There is at least four championship quality players on our bench and he only used one of them.
I don't know what Le Bris was like in France- but I think it's an obvious weak point that he isn't able to change mid game or react to anything that isn't just a like for like swap.
He is fantastic at setting up a team- which is why we are 1-2 up at 89 minutes- but I don't see any indication that better players will change him.

He didn’t have a decent game. He doesn’t need to be scapegoated though; the manager should have taken him off when it was obvious he needed to come off.

Who do you take him off for tho? We don’t have anyone else who can play that position. You could move Isidor but he’s looked poor there and Connolly doesn’t look great up front on his own.
 
I want some of that stuff that Regis put in the tea at half time
Very pleased with the second half energy and effort but
Mayenda just do something ya fanny doing nothing is not an option
